Authorities found human remains Wednesday afternoon off Foamflower Boulevard in the Angus Valley area, and are working to determine if they belong to Stephen Perry, the former writer of the 1980s cartoon series Thundercats. Perry, 56, disappeared last month, and after officers found his abandoned van and a severed arm at a Tampa hotel May 16, Zephyrhills Police began treating the case as a homicide. Perry's Zephyrhills home had been ransacked, authorities said. His two roommates — James and Roxanne Davis — were arrested on unrelated charges and remain in the Pasco County jail. Capt. Robert McKinney said both are persons of interest in the apparent homicide. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is analyzing the remains, McKinney said.
